DIY Faux Concrete Table
This outdoor table was headed for the garbage until I got my hands on it. After cleaning the table and giving the tabletop a fresh coat of paint, I removed the legs and used a tall faux concrete planter as a base to give it a modern look. I repurposed the fiberglass tabletop to complete this outdoor furniture makeover. I share how to attach a plastic planter pot to a tabletop in this tutorial.

DIY Concrete Table Inspiration
This round outdoor table was headed for the trash until I got my hands on it! I was inspired by my recent Yardzen designs to find a round concrete outdoor table for the space next to our pool in our backyard. The table that Yardzen recommended was $3,000! I loved the idea of a concrete table but a $3,000 table was not in our budget.
I was able to take a fiberglass table that I found on Facebook Marketplace for very little money and transformed it into a similar table that looks high-end.
DIY Faux Concrete Table
These instructions may differ depending on what type of thrifted table you are working with. Our table top is fiberglass but other materials may require a different type of paint or resurfacing.
Supplies:
- Orbit Sander
- Spray Paint
- Power Drill
- Scrap Wood
- Screws
- 30″ Tall Faux Concrete Plastic Planter Pot
- Thrifted Table Top (ours is fiberglass)
- Liquid Nails
Directions:
- Clean any debris and food from the surface.
- Use a 100-grit sandpaper pad on an orbit sander to remove any imperfections. I sanded down to bare wood so there were no more scratches, chips, paint, etc.
- Wipe the surface to clear and dust.
- Use spray paint to repaint the fiberglass tabletop. I used white spray paint.
- Remove the old legs but keep the screws.
- Attach a scrap piece of wood to the bottom using the same screws in the same holes on the bottom of the tabletop.
- Attach a piece of scrap wood to the inside of the faux concrete planter pot.
- Apply liquid nails as an extra adhesive.
- Drill the scrap wood pieces together going through the inside of the planter pot.
- Set up your new faux concrete table and enjoy!
